| Adenoma, Adrenal Cortical Adenoma, Adrenocortical | Adenomas, Adrenal Cortical | Adenomas, Adrenocortical | Adrenal Cortical Adenoma | Adrenal Cortical Adenomas | Adrenocortical Adenoma | Adrenocortical Adenomas A benign neoplasm of adrenal cortical cells resembling normal adrenal cells histologically but possessing functional autonomy. In general it does not exceed 5 cm in its largest dimension, although benign tumors exceeding 20 cm have been reported. Adrenal cortical adenomas produce hypercortisolism and hyperaldosteronism, but seldom produce adrenogenital syndromes. For the most part the prognosis after surgery is reasonably favorable.
